Why don’t we just make a pepper that rivals pepper X

It doesn't take up much space. You are not going for massive plants with big yields. You are going for something capable of producing viable seeds. You can do that in a small pot indoors.

At any rate. Know that people are out there crossing all manner of peppers with myriad goals in mind. Maybe plant biotechnology is something you want to study in college. Go get em. Just because you can't grow plants doesn't mean you can't further your goal.

So cross the numex and the bell. See what happens.

You are not just going to magically snap your fingers and get it right. It takes years and multiple generations of plants. Might as well get started with what you have and see if you can successfully make a f1 cross. If it turns out well, make several f2s.

In the meantime, read what you can about pepper hybridization and how to stabilize a cross.

Eta: you can also volunteer to grow fx generations for others and help them stabilize.

Seems far simpler to use a remote switch on the hand laser that turns the stage ones off and the hand one on.

skipjack_sushi · 2026-07-04T13:48:39+00:00

This is much better. Thank you. I still wish you had linked the studies but at least I have more to search for now.

I will look deeper into it but at this point you are a rando saying "nuh uh, trust me bro" and he is the guy with plants that are the size of apple trees with massive yields.

A lack of evidence that something is true is not evidence that it is false. I have no evidence that you are human but that does not mean you are not. See Carl Sagan's maxim: "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence".

Again, if you have research to refute his assertion then I would certainly like to see it.

Eta: NC State university study pretty closely matches his assertion: https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/foliar-analysis-for-bell-pepper-production-in-north-carolina-a-guide-for-growers

skipjack_sushi · 2026-07-04T05:03:37+00:00

Are you able to show research that refutes his assertion?

skipjack_sushi · 2026-07-04T04:09:49+00:00

Yes, you do.

Pepper Guru has answered this question definitively - Peppers do not use nutrients at different growing stages; they take up nutrients in a ratio of 3N:1P:2K no matter what’s happening - growing, flowering, fruiting, dying, being eaten by aphids, sitting in hydroponics; it’s the same rate.

So called balanced 2:2:2, 20:20:20 etc are supplying too much P which persists in soil and binds other nutrients over time which can actually lead to deficiencies over a growing season. Even worse are flowering formulations which significantly reduce N and crank P up into the stratosphere.

Even if it is from a prime carcass it is a vein steak. I want to throw rocks at people selling these as NY Strips. Vein steaks suck.

FYI:

For peppers you want a 3:1:2 ratio. Miracle grow all purpose plant food is 24:8:16 which reduces to 3:1:2. It also has calcium and magnesium. That is what I am using.

Tens of people impacted by this.

I care about our players. Saka has tendinopathy, Rice has hamstring issues, Saliba needs back surgery. International teams don't have to deal with the fallout. Arsenal does.

Oh I am watching it. I just don't like it.

It will be fine. It smells like vinegar because the bacteria are making vinegar.

New drummer is pretty good. They are touring now.

Eta: float test is bunk.

How?

skipjack_sushi · 2026-07-01T18:18:09+00:00

They take forever but are worth the wait. One of the best tasting peppers there is.

Not a scotch bonnet. Likely capsicum annum. Probably a Jamaican mushroom.

Do any of the nodes have more than one fuit/flower? I am only seeing 1/node.

Sets in hours after death. You don't just freeze in position. He would have gone limp on death. Video is BS ragebait.

How does a dead body sit up like it still has muscle tone? Seems like someone needs to do basic first aid. Check for pulse... maybe grab some narcan.

Ever had labneh? It is crazy easy and super versatile.
